This week's movie is CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (1955), by a goddamn landslide. It's about a Nazi creating atomic zombies to help a mobster regain power? That actually sounds kind of cool, I wonder how they'll flub it. Long talky scenes? Big slabs of silence? Misogyny? All this and more, I have no doubt.

It's free on Tubi and YouTube and there's a version on Archive.org for downloadin': https://archive.org/details/horror-films-of-the-1950s/1955-06-22+-+Creature+with+the+Atom+Brain+(1955).mp4

i realised that in my section checklist for tonight's #monsterdon i accused the makers of this film of story theft and i want to apologise as there was no story so therefore there could be no theft

@twaret Could we consider throwing Pacific Rim into the mix for next week? It's got monsters and action and a few good actors. It's actually a pretty good film.

We were promised a pretty sharp jacket/dickey combination and the film fell short.

I was a little confused about Gretchen praying to the wall sconce.

I assume she was with one of the anti-magnetic lighting cults all along?

"Produced on location"?????

Welp, thanks, @Taweret and Monsterdon friends. That movie would not have been watchable without you all. 💞 💞 💞

I think we can all agree that the real hero of the story was the floral centrepiece. It provided the backbone to the plot, and was solid all the way through.

@moira there are some movies that i don't like, and there are movies that don't make sense, but this was a movie that contained so little anything that i have no emotion about it at all

Well, that was a fruitful business trip for our Venusian friend. Travelled all that way on a matter of urgent importance for the solar system, and mostly ended up getting a smooch, a bit of free water, and he's gone.

Going to be tough expense report.

"I think he'd want to be alone"

Also, we don't have the special effects budget for anything else.

Genuinely awestruck at the bravery of them to make the spaceship literally just an overhead light fixture. That was... well, I think it was a movie. Goodnight, #monsterdon!
